Hi,

It's rather strange to ask this question after having started a number of
threads already :), however I am puzzled with the fact that there is no
"Start new thread" button on the "Discussion" page at ixda.org
(http://ixda.org/discuss.php). At least I'm unable to find it. Is this on
purpose, and why?

So I start my threads through the "Nabble" gateway
(http://www.nabble.com/ixda.org---discussion-list-f6702.html), the place
where I first stumbled upon this mailing list, but I'm not very happy with
it, as it takes too long for my messages to be accepted and appear on the
ixda.org site. Is this what everybody is using, or there's a better option?

I'd like someone to please explain me this issue, or point me to a kind of
FAQs page where it's explained.

Hi Oleg,

The IxDA Discussion list was originally an e-mail only list and
e-mail is still the primary channel. All new threads are started via
e-mail at the address Matthew mentions.

The delay you were encountering had nothing to do with Nabble. It was
because you were a new member and your account had been in moderation
until now (which meant your messages had to be approved by one of the
administrators).
